Over the last years, the National Service Secretariat seen not to have been quite fair to National Service Personnel, when it comes to the payments of their entitled monthly allowances.
A group named Forum For Accountability has been one of the leading forces speaking against this unfortunate act.
The Forum for Accountability, which is led by Klenam Tamakloe, outlined some key issues.
“We will get this change no matter what it takes because we are taking up a righteous cause. The era of accountability is upon us, and it has a bright future with the youth who will not accept the status quo any longer,” said Klenam Tamakloe.
Klenam Tamakloe backed that the forum is in to hold the Secretariat to Justice and will fight to get justice for all service personnel across the country, as he boldly stated that if by June 2024 payment is not dutifully made to personnel’s, they will be advised not to go to work until the scheme is properly regulated.
“The National Service Secretariat ……………………they have enslaved us in shackles and subjected us to the lowest bidder. Yes, the lowest bidder.
Even the slave masters of old provided slaves with transport and shelter. But not the Secretariat; they provide us with nothing but pain and suffering,” said Klenam Tamakloe.
He also added that although this move might not be taken seriously by the National Service Secretariat, he assures all the youth that this initiative will not be taken lightly moving forward, as he knows it’s about time things take a positive change for the betterment of Ghanaian graduates serving the country.
